PLoS ONE, 2011 Many studies have examined how island biogeography affects diversity on the scale of island systems. In this study, we address how diversity varies over very short periods of time on individual islands.

Extending the Sea-Level Sensitive dynamic model of marine island biogeography to include fusion-fission islands [PDF]
Frontiers of BiogeographyThis study extends the Sea-Level Sensitive dynamic model of marine island biogeography by integrating the dynamics of fusion-fission islands during glacial-interglacial cycles with marine island biogeography theory.

New directions in island biogeography [PDF]
, 2016 Aim: Much of our current understanding of ecological and evolutionary processes comes from island research. With the increasing availability of data on distributions and phylogenetic relationships and new analytical approaches to understanding the ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Ecological communities are assembled by various mechanisms, including a tradeoff between colonization and extinction processes. However, it is still unclear how this tradeoff influences pairwise beta diversity patterns.

Islands, Island Studies, Island Studies Journal [PDF]
, 2006 Islands are sites of innovative conceptualizations, whether of nature or human enterprise, whether virtual or real. The study of islands on their own terms today enjoys a growing and wide-ranging recognition.

Data from: A theory of island biogeography for exotic species
, 2015 The theory of island biogeography has played a pivotal role in the way ecologists view communities. However, it does not account for exotic species explicitly, which limits its use as a conservation tool.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2023 Understanding how the complexities of biodiversity are maintained on islands has long been one of the central issues studied in conservation biology. With the global onset of anthropogenically driven biodiversity changes, the influence of anthropogenic ...

The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

Biodiversity Dynamics on Islands: Explicitly Accounting for Causality in Mechanistic Models
Diversity, 2017 Island biogeography remains a popular topic in ecology and has gained renewed interest due to recent theoretical development. As experimental investigation of the theory is difficult to carry out, mechanistic simulation models provide useful alternatives.
